For 1G FWD, is it a good idea to mix in this manner?

Setup:

Front: Sprint springs (lowers the car 2") with Koni Sport struts (shortened 1").
Rear: Eibach Pro springs (lowers the car about 1.3") with KYB AGX struts.
 
I supposed there shouldnt be a problem with it. Springs are springs, struts are struts, and each perform and handle different than others. So, I'd expect a ride difference in the front versus the back. I've got the KYB and Eibach setup all around, and it rides great. I don't know why you'd really want to mismatch like that, but it shouldn't hurt anything.

Because you haven't got a clue about FWD.
